BAG LIMITS Sub-Species: Mountius oldfartus Limit: EXTINCT Sub-Species: Mountius boyscoutus (often seen crossing roads with old ladies) Limit: 3 Sub-Species: Mountius hubbahubbaus or "Big Red" (identify by its blue eyes, muscular physique, signature cry "thankyoukindly", tends to flee if the word "sex" is mentioned, found in the company of wolves and at least one of the grouchy species Chicagocopus crankus) Limit: 1, live capture only Notes: Very, very difficult to catch. Captive breeding next to impossible. Addenda: Humane capture of Mounties The species Mountius hubbahubbaus (or 'Big Red') is often found in the Canadian snow fields, but tend to have difficulty keeping their footing in this environment. This is often the best time to net one, when they are lying on their backs in the snow giggling uncontrollably, or rescue one after he has fallen into a lake. SEASON TIMES: Winter and autumn only. Mounties shed their distinctive red plumage during the warmer months and can be mistaken for other, less desirable species. Regulations released by F.
